Developed for increasingly tough requirements: Kübler encoders, draw wire systems and inclinometers

measure and control positions and angles reliably and accurately. Thanks to their robust bearing structure,

the sensors withstand also severe „knocks“ in harsh and inaccurate installation conditions.

The high IP 67 protection ensures tightness in case of intensive outdoor applications.

Sensors with IP69k protection can also be steam-jet-cleaned with the machine.

Compact encoders and draw wire systems of Kübler take in charge the determination of the speed, of the

steering angle of the vehicles and of the exact position of the load-carrying devices.

Their accurate rotary speed and position signals ensure the reliable operation of the intelligent systems -

even when only very little space is available. BUS systems ensure the safe signal transmission and simplify

notably the cabling work.

The Kübler encoders and inclinometers can cope with the demanding requirements of the agricultural and

forestry branch. They ensure a safe and accurate operation of the machines.

Inclinometers monitor the horizontal position of the vehicle and warn in case of an excessive inclination.

Encoders measure the setting angle and the speed and feed of the work equipment. Compact miniature

encoders can be integrated in an existing device, if the customer wishes so, and make the big difference

thanks to their intelligent extra features.

BUS systems are a standard in passenger cars for years. They are now increasingly used also in mobile

machines.

Rough positioning using analogue values is replaced with accurate angular sensors with CAN bus.

Encoders and draw wire systems mounted in construction machines cope with the most demanding

requirements, both on the work site and underground.

2 Sturdy housing technology for outdoor use

The strong die cast housing of the Sendix encoders has extra thick walls. It is fastened to the encoder flange by multiple crimping. The high protection (up to IP69k) and the wide temperature range from -40°C to +90°C allow an outdoor use without any problem. The die cast housing has a very strong base, on which the connector flange is fastened with four screws.

The Sensor-Protect™ design of the M36 encoders allows, thanks to entirely compound-filled electronics, the highest

protection, IP69k. Thanks to the separate mechanical compo-nents with mechanically protected shaft and labyrinth seals, no additional protection is required in case of steam or high-pressure cleaning.

Robust bearing units for tough applications

Encoders mounted on construction machinery are subjected to particularly strong mechanical stresses.

This is why the Kübler Sendix encoders are equipped with a very stable bearing construction in Safety-Lock™ design. This includes very large double ball bearings which are in addition blocked mechanically. The distance between the two bearings has been made as large as possible, so as to allow for space for an extra-strong external bearing. This design allows standing even highest stresses.

In addition, the bearing unit of the magnetic encoders of the M36 series have – with the Safety-Lock plus™ design – a mechanically protected shaft seal and a labyrinth seal, ensu-ring optimal protection against the effect of steam or water jet cleaning, but also against stone-chipping.

Innovations from Tradition. Kübler products benefit from 50 years experience in automation engineering.

Over the years they have undergone ongoing development and been optimized for use in drives, in outdoor

and offshore applications and for use in mobile machinery.

Small details make a big difference. Our products feature many intelligent, high-quality extras, which offer

our customers important advantages, whilst at the same time making a significant contribution to the high

availability and safety of the machines.

Technologies for the mobile automation

IP69k - 40° + 90°

2 Optical and magnetic sensor technology

Magnetic sensors are particularly robust while having a com-pact structure. The magnetic technology allows fully encap-sulated electronics and thus an IP69k protection. They offer a particularly economic solution for short strokes, applications requiring a high repeatability accuracy or for manual position monitoring.

Optical encoders achieve a very high accuracy and resolution (up to 17 bits singleturn and 41 bits multiturn). They are used for long strokes or automatic positioning.

Salt water-resistant

For use in areas subjected to road salt:

The devices are certified according to IEC 68-2-11 for their resistance against the effects of salt spray for a duration of up to 672 hours – the highest test level.

2 Available with SIL3 certificate

Safety is - not least since the new EU Machinery Directive - an „integral part of the construction of any machine“.

Sendix SSI absolute encoders, with an additional Sin/Cos incremental output, and Sin/Cos versions of incremental encoders are available with the SIL3 certification. But safety goes further than this: safe components are characterized by a robust and reliable interface and by a particular ability to cope with high mechanical and electronic loads.

Thanks to their design optimized for safety, the Sendix encoders make a significant contribution to the high availability of vehicles and machines.

«The test devices have successfully passed the tests

and can thus be installed without any modification. I

think that is a real success, which shows just how well-

engineered and high-quality your devices are. »
